CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT IN ELECTRICAL POWER ENGINEERING FOR MARINE ENGINEERS
Paper i proceeding, 2023

To tackle the climate challenge, all sectors need to contribute, including electrified shipping. Electrified shipping is not only propulsion but also loading and unloading equipment. This transformation requires increased skills and understanding of electric power engineering for the personal onboard, not least for the marine engineers. Therefore, a changed in the curriculum was needed. However, when more theoretical course content was added to two consecutive courses, the student view and passing rate dropped. Although the student view improved quickly, the passing rate recovered slower. To address this issue, continuous assessment was introduced to counteract the drops. The aim of this study was to evaluate the theoretical parts and determine if continuous assessment could contribute to improve student learning and increase passing rate. The students expressed satisfaction with the changes, and the passing rate has increased. Most students also claimed that they learned more compared to standard assessment methods.
